Re: [FIXED] BF2042 Steam - Season 6 Patch Stuck on 'Validating Game Files'

hi, the problem is right with the download. it wouldn't let me update, I deleted the game and it wouldn't let me download it. I'm on PC on EA app.

Same I tried everything you did still no luck hope it gets fixed soon was really looking forward to playing the new map.

i have same problem bro... same issue

My game still can't launch... 

I added it to CFG exemption, uninstalled EA App and allow steam to reinstall it. Tried to run things on administrator, app recovery through EA, clear cache of EA, clear downloda cache... I think I tried everything that has been said in this post and in others but still experiencing the same issue...

The game launches, the splash screen opens, i get the bf2042 window in the left top corner of my screen but it remains black. Then after 20-30 seconds it closes and brings me back to steam. Weirdly, if I check in the task manager i still see EA background services running while the game is closed. Sometimes, bf2042 won't even launch when EA background is still running. bf2042 will only start if I manually stop that EA background process....

Any1 has any ideas because i am clueless and I am running behind on the battle pass. Nothing is working...

P.s. Why is this posted mentioned as 'solved'? Players are still experiencing issues.

Hello everyone,

Please be aware that this AHQ thread is specifically for this issue and not for any other problems.

The EA app dev teams have released a new version of the EA app that addresses the issue of the BF2042 Season 6 Patch on Steam getting stuck in the 'Validating Game Files' loop.

To ensure that you receive the fix promptly, please attempt to manually update the EA app by following the steps provided here. After updating, open the EA app before launching Steam and check if the update for Battlefield 2042 Season 6 on Steam now installs correctly. The fixed version of the EA app is 13.45.0 and higher.

Please inform us if you are now able to install the patch without any issues and without needing to perform an EA app Recovery.

Thank you.

This new version of the EA app did absolutely nothing to fix the issue of the game loading up and working for me, please issue me a refund as I am tired of jumping through hoops trying to get your game to run.

Hi @l_Marvilous_l,

I understand that you're facing an issue with the EA app. However, I believe you might have posted about it in the wrong thread. This thread is for BF2042 Steam - Season 6 Patch Stuck on 'Validating Game Files' as the title suggests, and not about being unable to launch the game.

To get the appropriate help, I suggest posting your concern in a thread dedicated to the particular problem you're having. You can either search for relevant threads yourself or make use of the AHQ search function to find the appropriate place to post your issue.

Thanks.

Hello I brought the new bf recently. and strange thing it forced an update of the EA app even though I run it through steam. I have yet to play this game because it will refuse to load at all. I have done the app recovery you keep saying to do this this thread nothing at all. I have ran it as Admin, I have removed the cache files. I have uninstalled and reinstalled. I installed the old origin and let it update. Still nothing. I am starting to think that EA do not care as long as they get the money for the game. I have gone on youtube and gone though this thread and many others. Nothing works. It states it prepares the game. then just refreshes the EA app on the screen baring in mind I have not opened the EA app. I AM RUNNING THIS THROUGH STEAM!!!
If anyone at EA has an actual fix for this. that is not reinstall or any other stuff that is already posted on here please... write it out as if directing a 5 year old on how to do it.
